This small Dutch vehicle for people with disabilities takes flight

Car prices range from around €15,500 for the Canta Comfort to over €23,000 for the Canta 2 Inrijwagen.

Older models of the Canta were gasoline-powered, but the latest model is electric, in line with municipal efforts. Amsterdam, for example, aims to be an emission-free city by 2025. Micromobility can and should play an important role.

“When we look at non-cars, a vast space of opportunity for mobility solutions becomes possible,” says Horace Dediu, an expert on the future of micromobility. “This not only means more efficient and less demanding alternatives for short journeys, but also vehicles for those who are too young, too old or disabled.”

Dediu notes that “8 billion people need mobility. Only 1 billion people currently know how to drive. Everyone, he says, “will be served by micromobility.”
